Fake US 90% coins?

Has anyone heard anything about people producing fake circulated 90% silver coins? I'm not talking about the dollar coins here, just quarters, dimes and halfs. I haven't felt the need to run a magnet over the 90% but perhaps it's necessary.

Just curious.
Thanks,

I'm talking about common dates here only.

if you find any, LUK

that's one good thing about worn Barbers, Mercs, and Walkers... who would bother to counterfeit them?
